The problem with surgery is that each surgery can create more scar tissue. Scar tissue itches and is painful. My endo is in the scar tissue of my c-section incision. I would think it's easier than most to treat. I have had it for 17 years and it's as painful as ever. I need another "clean-out" surgery. >
